On the Red Baron, kids can ride their own mini Sopwith Camel – a British World War I single-seat biplane fighter. Years ago, the Red Baron was in the Boardwalk, next to where Coasters is today. It was moved to Camp Snoopy to make room for Perilous Plunge.

ReplyDeleteCorrection: The Red Baron used to be in the Boardwalk when it was called Roaring 20s until 1982 to move to the then newly-developed Camp Snoopy in 83.
I'm not sure...I distinctly remember the Red Baron in the Boardwalk long after 1982.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they removed the Peanuts Playhouse and what's going to replaced it?
ReplyDeleteI also like to add a little more in this article: Years ago, before the Sierra Sidewinder was built, there used to be a boat ride called Walter K. Steamboat. It used to go all around the lake where the Silver Bullet now stands. After the Silver Bullet opened, the boat ride was shortened around only what's left of the ride until 2006.
ReplyDeleteI loved the playhouse! too bad it's gone...
